The main treatments for infrapatellar fat pad inflammation include rest, ultrashort wave therapy, massage, local closure, and extra-synovial fat pad debridement.
Rest is needed in the acute stage of infrapatellar fat pad inflammation, and over-activity of the knee should be avoided.
In the chronic phase, ultrashort wave therapy and massage are effective in relieving symptoms. Local closure treatment is also effective, but need to pay attention to: the injection site, depth and amount of drug, the fat pad of the inner and outer knee eye should be injected at the same time, otherwise affect the efficacy, and strengthen the quadriceps muscle strength exercise.
For the non-surgical ineffective or have fat pads too large, too hard or calcification, can be given to the synovial membrane outside the fat pad stripping surgery.
Infrapatellar fat pad inflammation is recommended to go to regular hospitals for standardized treatment as soon as possible.
